Glad to know there's people that want to preserve and enhance the ESP line.

Personally I'm a fan of the ESP Eclipse body shape but have also been looking forward to Z, V, and Star shaped bodies like the Gus G. Signature guitar.

I would love to have more model, different colors, and pickups options available for them.

This year great pickups like the EMG 57/66 (stock in the Black LTD Elite Eclipse), Seymour Duncan Black Winter, Seymour Duncan Whole Lotta Humbucker, EMG James Hetfield Signature pickups, and others were released to the market. I'm sure ESP could add new pickups to the line and get even deeper into their target market. Who knows? Maybe they could get new ESP players!

The only thing I'm really sure is that 2014 is going to be a great year for guitar players, expect great guitars coming your way soon!

Maybe offer some different finishes, like you had in california back in the nineties, those Extreme Series were pretty cool. An Eclipse T (thick) like the LTD with some more classic pick-ups maybe. This way you'd toss your "overrated" friend Gib...n away a little bit (not that i would care!)

I mean c'mon gibson! Don't be jealous because ESP makes better explorers than you ;) hahaha just messing guys! I would love to see new finishes for sure! An M-II with a stop bar tailpiece and tune-omatic bridge, more ebony fret boards, old esp logo back (block letters)

I don't know about you all, but I would love to see a rebirth of the M-1 series. Craftmanship was always top-notch, price point was spot on, playability - well, it's an ESP. The ESP USA M-1. It has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?

Eclipse with neck through construction +24 XJ frets! Idk if anyone else wants that but in my eyes PERFECT guitar. Are you guys going to go over possible job opportunities with this new location? That would be dope \m/

I only hope the US quality is on par with their Japanese counterparts... The array of guitars I just saw at the ESP Craft House was de facto 'Guitar Heaven'. The custom MII's were impressive... Masao Ohmuro's customs are simply unreal. Hopefully all of their premier work stays in house in Japan, but the US production is interesting considering how bad ESP Japan makes the rest of the US luthiers look.
